tamerlan and dzhokhar both carried illegal guns. neither had proper permits nor petitions and dzhokhar tsarnaev was under age. within the last hour the white house explained why the surviving suspect will go through the criminal system. >> he will not be treated as an enemy combatant. we will prosecute this terrorist through our civilian system of justice under u.s. law. the united states citizens cannot be tried in military commissions and it is important to remember that since 9/11, we have used the federal court system to convict and incarcerate hundreds of terrorists. >> nbc news justice correspondent pete williams is live with us right now. i know you've been reviewing these charges. what's the latest on what you've uncovered? >> it is a fairly interesting sequence of things that the government cites here as evidence. first of all they say that there was a surveillance tape that shows what apparently is the second suspect, dzhokhar tsarnaev, the man in the hospital, placing the bomb at the second bombing. this is unrelated pict

so that when tamerlan, last year tamerlan tsarnaev went to fly to moscow, the u.s. government knew about it because it pinged in the data base. but u.s. officials looked that and said, well okay, he is flying. we check need him and there isn't anything there. i guess there's a couple of questions there. in a situation like this, where you get a request from a foreign government, should there be more -- looking into it, if there is subsequent travel. that cuts both ways. several members of congress have said, they get like 20,000 tips of these tips a year, individual agent, assigned to people get something like a hundred of them a week. and if you keep adding to that list, does that become an unmathageable workload. that's one question. but the second question is, what about some of these radical things that tamerlan tsarnaev was known to be putting on his website? some of these outspoken jihadist advocates overseas, should there be some way it keep more track when people post things to their websites, of noted radicals overseas. that's a tricky area. because its pro

what happened in russia is going to be critical for tamerlan. the second part is the internal family dynamic here. the role of the mother, how other members of the family saw what was happening and what they did or did not -- >> the mother denies everything. >> well, she does. she also based on what we've seen from interviews was very, very devout and went on an extremist approach toward religion and toward the united states. clearly the relationship with her and tamerlan, the older brother, was important. and we're going to need to delve into that. >> you think she was an american hater? >> you know -- >> if you use common sense here. if you're going to kill a bunch of people, you probably hate them. >> i'm not saying she was involved in the conspiracy, chris. based on what she said in her public statements, she played a fascinating role in influencing her -- at least her older son and possibly her younger son. that -- we've got to be careful here, but what i've seen she's said publicly is pretty disturbing. >> okay. thank you so much, gentleme
